Welcome to GameZZone, special place of amaZZony's favorite computer games!

It's been for awhile since GameZZone: HOMM ended and I feel that right now it is perfect time to introduce and honor another great game. I have to disappoint many of you and say right now that all games are Freestyle because SC is a real-time strategy game. I wasn't sure how to make it as a tournament but after awhile things started dropping into their right place. I've decided that everybody's playing race will be Terran because I like them the most

StarCraft is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The first game of the StarCraft series, it was released for Microsoft Windows on 31 March 1998. With its storyline adapted and expanded through a series of novels, StarCraft has three expansion packs available and a sequel in development. The game has been praised for pioneering the use of unique factions in real-time strategy gameplay and for a "compelling" story. (Wikipedia)

This tournament is mostly based on Starcraft 1 (+ my imagination) and will consist of 3 parts (rounds). All games are Freestyle, Escalating, Standard and Casual 8-playerSunny games. Maps will be picked when taking under considerations the nature of the game and aim of the round.

Part 1: Building Your Base!First round is all about gathering strength, setting up your base and constructing buildings and preparing for the second round. Nobody will drop out this round but your performance is very important because without strong economy you can't build an army.

Settings

Number of Games: 10 games on Space & 10 games on Solar System

For 4 weeks, you will get 5 games per week

From each Space game, you will gain Crystals and Solar System game, you will gain Vespene Gas for building

When all games have finished, everybody will send me what they wish to build for their gained resources

You can use all your Crystals/Gas but you don't have to. You can leave 20% from your overall Resources to go to next part, rest of it will get lost

Fortifications: Unlimited

Part 2: Training Your Army!Now it's time to put your buildings in use and start training an army. For that, you also need Crystal and Vespene Gas. All buildings are available but point of this round is to get a strong army so you wouldn't drop out. Only 8 players with strongest armies will advance to final part. Army strength is measured by hitpoints.

Settings

Number of Games: 25 games on Arms Race!

You'll be playing 5 games at once.

From each game, you will earn certain amount of Crystals&Gas

When set of games end, then everybody must decide what to do with their resources

You can use all your Crystals/Gas but you don't have to. You can leave 20% from your overall Resources to go to next set, rest of it will get lost

Building/training takes time one set (i.e. if you put things training/building then they will not be ready before next set is finished). Therefore, if you run out of room in Supply Depots then you can't train more Troops.

One War Building (Barrack, Factory, Starport) can train maximum 5 Units per set

Fortifications: Chained

Part 3: Final Battle!8 strongest have reached here but only one player can come out as the winner. Winner is the player who has strongest army by the end of part 3. Army strength is measured by hitpoints.

Settings

Number of Games: 48 games

Everybody will pick their home map

You'll be playing 6 games at once, all on one map

From each game, you will earn certain amount of Crystals&Gas

When set of games end, then everybody must decide what to do with their resources

You can use all your Crystals/Gas but you don't have to. You can leave 20% from your overall Resources to go to next set, rest of it will get lost

Building/training takes time one set (i.e. if you put things training/building then they will not be ready before next set is finished). Therefore, if you run out of room in Supply Depots then you can't train more Troops.

One War Building (Barrack, Factory, Starport) can train maximum 5 Units per set

Fortifications: Chained, Unlimited, Adjacent (each of them is used twice on everybody's home map)

*In part 1, earnings will be split: Crystals from Space sames & Gas from Solar System games

How to sign up?

Just post to this thread that you wish in. Simple as that!

Notes

I'm your Goddess and what I say, goes in this tournament. If I feel that something needs changing then I have the right to do if it's fair to everybody and is in the benefit of the tournament.

Signing up to the tournament counts only when posted to this thread.

Foe List is ignored. If you wish to play in my tournament then you have to play with anybody who stands in your way.

If you wish to drop out from the tournament then be polite - let me know about it. Don’t just deadbeat.

If you need more time to joining games then let me know. I’m sure we can work out something.

I know that my explaining skills aren't top-notch so if there's something confusing about the tournament then please use this thread so others would also see the answer.

Games that go longer than 25 rounds, will not count in the tournament (read: they will not be replaced/replayed, groups that go over the time limit will just play less games and therefore gain less points in that map)

Questions? Comments? Turn to me either by PM or posting to this thread.

Notification list! If you wish to get a message when I launch a new tournament (I'm letting people know ~48 hours after I've launched the tournament) then please let me know about it - post about it to this thread or send me a private message. If you deadbeat in my tournament then I will automatically remove you from the list.

All quotes in italic are originals from the game; for example:

"I have ways of blowing things up."

I dont have time to read in depth right now, but I am 100% in. I'll read some more tomorrow and let you know if there's more info you need from me

Thank you This is far the best reaction that I've got for my tournament! And what makes it even better is that I'm sooo proud of myself because of this tournament - I really love it. Kinda arrogant to say it about my own tournament but what can I do

No more info needed

I just want to say that I'm really grateful for the positive feedback because I was a bit scared that I will have huge problems filling this tournament as it is freestyle plus a bit more complexed than many others. So...

"Slammin'!"
